The First Gospel Chapter 27: Reciprocity
"Hey, young man, you are the 888th customer of this counter. You will get a basket of eggs provided by our store for free!"
Gu Yun had just stood at the store door and stuck his head inside when the clerk enthusiastically handed him a basket of eggs.
Under normal circumstances, he would naturally be happy to accept these gifts, but now he really couldn't hold them all.
The plastic bag in his left hand contains beef brisket and black pork belly promoted by the supermarket, and the bag in his right hand contains yogurt, new chili peppers, imported pepper powder and a large bottle of sunflower oil.
Only An Ling's hands were not idle. She was flipping through the screen of her mobile phone with one hand and holding a beautifully packaged sushi box with the other.
As a bankrupt young man who had just bought a treadmill and had only one dollar left in his pocket, Gu Yun originally went to buy coriander. An Ling, in the spirit of getting up from where he fell, decided to challenge the poverty-style ramen again.
And now they have gradually forgotten what they are here for.
"Honestly, I just want to buy a bunch of cilantro, so please stop giving me gifts."
Even Gu Yun felt a little embarrassed.
He had no idea why these sales clerks and store managers, who usually didn't even look at him, found him to give them things today. They looked so enthusiastic, as if they had found long-lost relatives.
"I see you are destined to be together, so I'll give you this box of coriander."
"Thank you."
“This egg…”
"You should take the eggs home and eat them yourself."
It was exactly half past three when I came out of the supermarket.
The high school that Gu Tiantian attended would end classes an hour earlier every Friday, and then it would be time for club activities. However, in order to take a part-time tutoring job, she quit the club in her second year of high school and automatically became a member of the vast returning home club.
"It's about time to go back and cook."
"Huh? Have you finished buying it?"
An Ling looked down blankly at the bags that Gu Yun was carrying, and then her eyes stopped at the sushi gift box that appeared in her hand at some point.
If she remembered correctly, weren't they here to buy coriander?
She could only think about . From the moment she entered the supermarket, she was concentrating on browsing Weibo and instinctively followed Gu Yun.
But similar situations have happened before.
When she went to the supermarket with her mother to buy groceries, she played with her mobile phone for a while. When she came to her senses, she had followed an unfamiliar aunt into the public bathhouse.
"What are you looking at?"
"Of course it was the car accident this morning."
The car accident that occurred near the Wanhua City commercial area at noon directly led to the termination of Ren Dilu's press conference. Some angry people commissioned "a buddy", "a friend", "Mr. Zhao next door" and other connections to dig out the whole story.
An Ling spent the whole afternoon gossiping on Weibo.
"It is said that the police found four charred bodies in the wreckage of the SUV. After preliminary identification, the four people were employees of Liao's Real Estate."
"oh."
Gu Yun responded.
He himself is not a fan of Ren Diyu, and he went there as a volunteer just to help An Ling. It would be better to say that it was a good thing for him that the press conference ended early.
It was noisy and hot there, and while the Pokémon battles were fun, overall it was better to just stay home and exercise.
"Your reaction is too calm, but four people died!"
This was the first time in An Ling's life that she had seen an accident scene with her own eyes. When she came out of Wanhua City, she took a look at it from a distance.
The burnt black ground made her feel a little uneasy.
"Then what?"
Gu Yun didn't understand.
Isn't it normal for people to die?
Even without mentioning the past, many people have died at the hands of evil spirits since he came to this world. If Wang Lu had not seen the sign of death on An Ling that day, the latter might have become one of them.
"Then... it seems to be an accident. The engine suddenly caught fire while driving."
Of course, this is the official answer.
However, according to the revelations on Weibo, things do not seem to be simple.
The identities of these four people were not ordinary employees of Liao’s Real Estate, but the personal bodyguards of Liao Shengchuan, the president of Liao’s Group. As a result, some information about Liao Shengchuan was also revealed.
Some people said that in order to save capital, Liao Shengchuan used substandard building materials in his early years, which caused the death of a person. Others said that Liao Shengchuan hired thugs to force residents to move out for the project.
"In short, it sounds like he is a shady businessman with underworld power, so some people speculate that these four people may have known a secret that was detrimental to him and were silenced."
An Ling gave a technical summary of the incident.
"You want to investigate him?"
"How is that possible? I'm just eating a melon."
An Ling read Weibo just out of curiosity; she doesn't have the dream of becoming a hero.
An Ling had only seen those gangsters who would kill people to silence them at will in Weibo and novels, but the City X she was familiar with was actually a good city where people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Not to mention the gangsters who brandished knives and guns, even the number of gangsters roaming the streets had decreased significantly recently.
"That's good, you're not suitable for this job."
Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now he saw An Ling slap the dining table, but the table didn't move at all, but he himself was in so much pain that tears came out.
Conservatively speaking, An Ling's strength is probably not as high as Gu Tiantian's.
After all, my sister had done some strength training under his guidance. If we were to make an analogy with her combat power...
Gu Tiantian should now be able to fight the Mohawk man with the knife to a draw.
As for An Ling, she could probably fight the lambs in the zoo to a standstill.
"why?"
Although An Ling had never thought of being a messenger of justice, Gu Yun's attitude made her feel a little strange.
"Because you are too weak."
It hurts!
An Ling puffed up her face in anger. No one had ever said this to her face in her entire life !
Every time she took the shot put test , the physical education teacher would pat her on the shoulder earnestly and tell her “Don’t give up!”
What does this mean?
This shows that the physical education teacher thinks she has great potential!
Very good, Gu Yun, you have successfully caught my attention!
"You're talking nonsense. When I was in college, I was average in arm wrestling among girls... below average!"
There are 30 girls in the college class, and An Ling is sure that at least 3 of them are weaker than her.
"It means everyone in your class is weak."
Hi!
This guy is actually firing map cannons wildly!
"What's wrong with being weak? Being light, flexible and easy to push down is the charm of a girl!"
When one plan failed, An Ling had to change her strategy.
Gu Yun didn't know why An Ling was suddenly so excited. In his opinion, strength and weakness were an objective fact. A person would not become stronger because of the flattery of others, nor would he become weaker because of the slander of others.
"You misunderstood. I wanted to tell you that people become stronger when they exercise."
Although An Ling didn't have much talent, it was still easy for her to break a table with a slap if she tried a little.
"There's something I've been thinking about for a long time."
From the first time she saw An Ling, her sister showed an enthusiasm different from before. After thinking deeply all night, Gu Yun finally understood his sister's thoughts.
The road to becoming stronger is often lonely, and my sister...
You must want to find a like-minded companion.
"I would like to invite you to come to my house for physical training on your day off."
People often say that friends should reciprocate.
Today he accompanied An Ling to be a volunteer, so An Ling should readily accept his invitation, right?
